- Library referencing didn't add the new local Ipo for constraints
- Proxy command didn't set the driver object in constraint ipo to be
the new proxy object.
=========
Bugfix for crash with disabling the particles system and saving/loading
files, the way it detected if the mesh had changed could not work correct.
"Show Keyframes" option for Bone Path Drawing was broken. It seems that I forgot to update this code when the Action Editor's drawing code went from using CfraElem structs to ActKeyColumn structs for storing keyframes for drawing.
Also, now Keyframe dots on the path are drawn slightly larger to make them stand out more.
Bugfixes:
* "Clear Paths" change from last commit wasn't complete yet. Now it REALLY only clears the paths of the selected bones
* Button layout in "Armature Visualisation" panel has been reorganised a bit to better present the options (clearer separation between Display and Calculation buttons)
New Stuff (Yay!):
* Paths of active bones now draw more visibly than those of unselected bones. This makes it easier to identify the path that is taken by the bone
* The part of path on the current frame is now drawn in green (the same shade that is used for the current-frame line in the Animation Editors). This nicely blends between the black and blue parts of the path (before and after current frame, respectively), and looks much nicer.
* The colour of the current-frame marker in the Animation Editors and the 3D-View, are now theme-colours. This is needed to make the previous option work.
* "Around Current Frame" option now works differently. When this option is activated, the path range calculated remains the same (PSta -> PEnd), but only PPre and PPost amount of path-points on either side of the current frame get shown. This is less clumsy to use, and looks quite neat!
* "Clear Paths" now only clears the paths of the selected bones, not all bones. The old behaviour can still be obtained by selecting all bones, but previously there was no way to only clear paths of selected bones.
* Own fix: path colours are now drawn less saturated, as they were showing up TOO strongly.
TODO:
* Fix up interface for "Around current..." option. It's quite confusing atm.
* Selective recalculation of path on certain operations could also be investigated further...
- new option for Local Constraint Ipos did not set user counter in
Ipo at file reading, causing data to get lost (not saved).
- Driver feature: the channels "Loc X Y Z" now also use the result
of constraints, but transformed back into local space, as if it
was action X Y Z. Nice stuff for those who understand this...
it means you can drive something with a bone that has constraints.
modifier.c, BKE_modifier.h - flag for modifiers to say they use pointcache, also new func modifiers_usesPointCache
renamed //pointcache to //blendcache_blendfilename so blendfiles in the same dir dont conflict, and other to show this dir isnt limited to pointcache only (nodes way want to use this)
wizard_curve2tree.py - better defaults for pretty tree's
Fixes for bugs in #7833
- Hair softbody cache was reset on rendering.
- When Alt-a playback is synced to audio frames are skipped. This caused dynamics caching to go crazy. Now the first loop of playback goes through all frames if there are non cached dynamic systems.
Invalid point caches weren't cleared when new systems were created. This caused messed up shapes when softbody was added.
==========
- Added a Mute button for shape keys, useful for debugging the influence
of driven shape keys.
- Bugfix for the shape keys relative to others keys, was hanging in
an eternal loop when deleting the other key.
Restoring the "evil src splitting hack" for scons+mingw systems. By default, it is not used, but if your system is choking when trying to link src, then add BF_SPLIT_SRC=1 to your user-config.py to use this hack.
=============
A new "Selected to Active" option in the Bake panel, to (typically) bake
a high poly object onto a low poly object. Code based on patch #7339 by
Frank Richter (Crystal Space developer), thanks!.
Normal Mapping
==============
Camera, World, Object and Tangent space is now supported for baking, and
for material textures. The "NMap TS" setting is replaced with a dropdown
of the four choices in the image texture buttons.
http://www.blender.org/development/current-projects/changes-since-244/render-baking/
in EditButtons, panel "Links and Materials", there's now a browse button
to directly assign a material to selected faces. It does:
- check if material was already in one of the 'slots' of the object
- if so, then use this as index to assign
- if not, then add a new slot, and assign the new index
